Stade Power Station Expansion

Stade Power Station Expansion. In April 2008 Power in Europe reported that ENBW and Dow Deutschland Anlagengesellschaft were proposing a 1,000 megawatt coal and gas fired unit for Dow's Stade site. "The current 20-yr-old, 150-MWe plant will be decommissioned when the new plant comes on line. Partners are to explore using hydrogen from the site to generate a portion of the power and steam. Power requirement has grown to 600-MWe at the site and annual consumption amounts to 5 TWh. The new power plant could involve a coal unit with about 800-MW, with the CCGT unit, possibly fired with hydrogen, adding flexibility," Power in Europe reported.
